Time Travel: The Best Doctor in Ancient Times

Chapter 1313: Chapter 974: Linyuan City’s Lord, Shi Wujue!

And that mysterious shadow, fleeting as an epiphyllum in Xunyang City, soon vanished without a trace...

Gu Changsheng was also uncertain!

According to the Medicine Immortal Old Man, he should be a young Master of the Primordial Transformative Realm. Whether he is the one destined to play the final chess move, Gu Changsheng didn’t know...

Given his abilities, he might very well have the confidence to stir the winds and clouds of the world.

But instinctively, Gu Changsheng felt that this vast net, this earth-shaking chessboard, shouldn’t be orchestrated by the true form of that mysterious shadow...

It was a kind of intuition!

And Gu Changsheng trusted her intuition!

Moreover, Gu Changsheng even thought that the young man in the Primordial Transformative Realm, like her, was merely a small pawn on the chessboard!

Even Gu Changsheng herself didn’t know why she thought that way!

Her mind was in a bit of chaos, making her shake her head in frustration!

”Alright, don’t overthink it! By noon tomorrow, Shuang Jiang will surely bring the Dark Night Army to take Father-in-law and Xiao Gu Ze away. Linyuan City is an absolutely safe place; no one dares to make a move there. With the Dark Night Army protecting them, no problems will arise. Besides, the lord of Linyuan City was once old acquaintances with me, and I expect him to provide some hospitality...” Zhou Mu looked at the pensive little woman in front of him, extended his long arm, and hugged her, comforting her softly.

Nesting on her own evildoer’s shoulder, Gu Changsheng inexplicably felt a sense of safety. Her little head rubbed against him, finding a comfortable position, and she opened her mouth in curiosity, ”You’ve mentioned a few times that the lord of Linyuan City was once an old acquaintance of yours. For Linyuan City to stand independently among the cracks of the Three Kingdoms and maintain its seclusion, despite how the Three Kingdoms are at a loss over it, its lord surely isn’t a simple person, right?”

Upon hearing Gu Changsheng’s question, Zhou Mu hesitated slightly, then a look of reminiscence appeared on his face, similar to a deity, as he spoke softly, ”He is a person beyond understanding. Amidst the three armies, he dared chase a sand rat all over, just to kill it! In the Red Luan tent, just after a spring night, one moment whispering sweet nothings, the next bloodying the tent... He was wild and eccentric, without restraint. When I first met him, it was during my childhood training, when he was still the young lord of Linyuan City, surrounded by family servants, bullying people on the streets. I witnessed his injustices and ended up fighting him in the street...”

Tilting her head, Gu Changsheng listened as Zhou Mu recounted stories of the lord of Linyuan City, her lips twitching involuntarily.

Honestly speaking, she couldn’t really understand what sort of old acquaintance her own evildoer had with that person!

Gu Changsheng summarized that when her evildoer first met the lord of Linyuan City in childhood, they fought fiercely! The next encounter on the battlefield, the suddenly rising lord of Linyuan City nearly disrupted her evildoer’s formations over a sand rat, leading to another likely brawl! Later, even after amorous moments with a woman, when he killed as if to silence a witness, he was caught red-handed by her evildoer...

What was that called?

Hell, this wasn’t an old acquaintance!

This was clearly a grudge, wasn’t it!

However, from the tone of her evildoer’s words, he seemed to hold a certain recognition towards the lord of Linyuan City. Could this be the so-called ’no discord, no concord’?

Yet it was still uncertain whether the lord of Linyuan City, like her evildoer, considered this ’no discord, no concord’ to forge a bond of kindred spirits!

Nevertheless, having someone like her evildoer as a bosom friend wasn’t an easy task at all!

Her own evildoer, Gu Changsheng understood best, was chilly and aloof, holding everything around in disdain, for him to acknowledge someone, considering them as a kindred spirit, was rarer than seeing red rain from the sky!

Even Gu Changsheng couldn’t help but feel curious about the lord of Linyuan City, whom she’d never met; she truly wondered what kind of person this unpredictable man from her evildoer’s tales really was...

”By the way, his name is Shi Wujue!” Zhou Mu recalled something and added.

”Shi Wujue? Unending Slaughter?” Gu Changsheng heard this and immediately cracked a smile, ”Tsk tsk... That name is indeed bloodthirsty. I really wonder how much courage his father and mother mustered to name him so. Seeing this, it’s really not his fault that his nature is wickedly untamed. Just look at this name; if he’s not wild, who is?”

This name was truly incredibly arrogant, not needing to be written on one’s face at all!

”Hehe...” Hearing his little woman’s words, Zhou Mu couldn’t help but laugh, tapped her nose, and spoke with a smile, ”This person is both righteous and evil, yet incredibly wicked and untamable, and moreover...”

At this point, Zhou Mu paused, his handsome brow slightly frowning as he glanced at Gu Changsheng.

Nestled against Zhou Mu’s shoulder, Gu Changsheng felt inexplicably bewildered by his glance and couldn’t help but ask, ”And what else?”

”And moreover, he’s not bad-looking. I imagine he might catch your eye...” Zhou Mu hesitated for a moment before speaking.

”Pfft!” Upon hearing this, Gu Changsheng couldn’t help but burst into laughter. She poked her head out from her evildoer’s embrace, looking awkwardly at the god-like face in front of her, and teased, ”Evildoer, is it possible that there’s a man in this world whose looks can catch your eye? Did I hear you wrong?”

Her own evildoer, after all, didn’t even think highly of the surpassingly beautiful Yue Xilou!

Yet, this Linyuan City’s Lord Shi Wujue could make him say such things?

Heaven help me, Gu Changsheng admitted she was a bit hesitant to believe it!

So just how stunning must this Shi Wujue be, to prompt her own evildoer to give her this early warning? Gu Changsheng’s eyes couldn’t help but light up, growing even more curious about Shi Wujue!

Zhou Mu saw his little woman so intrigued, how could he not know what she was thinking? His expression immediately darkened, and he warned in a low voice, ”Put your curiosity away! On this journey north, we are bound to meet him, and you, it’s best if you stay away from him. Let me tell you, he’s not a kind person!”

Gu Changsheng was taken aback upon hearing this!

See!

They said it was a warning shot, and indeed, the warning has arrived!

”Haha! Ah, Zhou Mu, I wasted all the goodwill the City Lord has shown your dear Little Junior Sister, giving up half of the City Lord’s Mansion for her to settle in, and here you are, talking bad about the City Lord behind his back! It’s been years, and Zhou Mu, you’re becoming less and less like someone from the Imperial Family. This gossiping like a long-tongued woman, you’re actually capable of it!”

Just then, an unrestrained, wanton voice echoed in Gu Changsheng’s ears, causing her expression to shift and putting her on guard, as she shouted lowly, ”Who’s there? Come out!”

”It’s not who! And he can’t come out!” Seeing this, Zhou Mu reached out to grasp the guarded little woman beside him, soothing her with a low voice.

Gu Changsheng was taken aback by his words, couldn’t help but examine the inn courtyard they were in—everything was silent. With her skills, it was easy for her to sense there were no strangers around!

”Thousand Miles Sound Transmission?” Gu Changsheng asked with a frown, puzzled.

”Yes!” Zhou Mu nodded, not even glancing around, but instead focused on the little woman beside him as he slowly spoke, ”Brother Shi, long time no see, your cultivation has advanced significantly!”

”Hmph! Just talking bad about the City Lord, and now want to say a few flattering words? Zhou Mu, do you think the City Lord is so easily fooled? The City Lord cannot bear your flattery! Had the City Lord not sensed his aura patrolling around Licheng City, would you mention the City Lord?” The voice, condensed with Inner Strength, sounded again, ”Sigh! They say people are fickle, and I didn’t believe it, but now I do! Zhou Mu, you’ve been gone for years, not coming to the North, and the City Lord misses you so much, life feels dull. Especially after hearing you found a beauty in the Central Plains, you wouldn’t know how much wine the City Lord drank to drown his sorrows, almost heartbroken!”

”Gah?” The voice reaching Gu Changsheng’s ears made her eyes widen in disbelief, her mouth forming an ”O” shape!

Asiba!

It sounds like she just heard something majorly scandalous!

If Gu Changsheng guessed correctly, the one using Thousand Miles Sound Transmission should be the Linyuan City’s Lord, Shi Wujue, right?

”Uh, Evildoer, Shi Wujue is a man, right?” Batting her long lashes, Gu Changsheng looked at the evildoer in front of her with an expression of uncertainty, and asked helplessly.

Hearing this, Zhou Mu’s face immediately darkened.

”Haha! The Southern Emperor is right, the City Lord is indeed a man—real and genuine, guaranteed! If the Southern Emperor doesn’t believe it, feel free to come verify. The City Lord awaits your arrival at Linyuan City, Southern Emperor, rest assured I’m not picky, indiscriminate between men and women...” Shi Wujue’s voice boisterously rang out again.

”Shi Wujue!” Zhou Mu snapped coldly upon hearing this.

”Ha! Already angry? Zhou Mu, look at your patience! The City Lord took care of your dear Little Junior Sister with all efforts—no easy task, and you didn’t even send someone to inform the City Lord after arriving in the North. Had it not been for the City Lord releasing Internal Breath to patrol around Linyuan City’s expanse of five hundred li, he wouldn’t have known you’re so close to the City Lord’s Linyuan City!”

”This matter is my fault,” Zhou Mu replied, his expression slightly darkened.

”Haha! Fault or not, as long as you’re aware of it! Isn’t it just knowing you’re no match for the City Lord’s looks, fearing the City Lord will steal the woman beside you? Zhou Mu, the old rules apply; Linyuan City awaits our duel, if you win, the City Lord ensures your way north is safe, and Linyuan City will always be your retreat. If you lose... haha... if you lose, just leave behind what you treasure most for the City Lord!” Shi Wujue’s wild laughter once again echoed in their ears...
